On Dec 4th 2015 Germany's BFU reported in their August bulletin that the occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated by the BFU. There was no damage and no injuries.
The BFU stated, that the Boeing received landing clearance when the aircraft was about 6nm before the runway threshold, the first officer was pilot flying, the captain pilot monitoring and operating the radio. While further on the approach the captain heard tower asking somebody whether they were ready for an immediate departure but did not hear the pilot's reply. Later, when the aircraft descended through about 600 feet the captain noticed a small aircraft entering the runway via taxiway C, the first officer confirmed the observation, at about 400 feet AGL the autopilot and autothrust was disconnected and at about 200 feet AGL the TOGA button was pushed. The minimum height was 178 feet AGL.
The BFU reported that the pilot of the Cessna 172 reported ready for departure and was queried by tower "... guten Morgen, ready for immediate departure?" which the pilot acknowledged with "... is cleared for immediate departure, runway 09 and via November.", tower confirmed "Ja copied, call you right back."
The BFU reported that the pilot of the Cessna 172, following that communication, thought he was cleared to enter the runway and acted accordingly. The tower controller however was busy with his flight planning system and radar to verify his plan of action and did not notice the Cessna 172 taxiing onto the runway.
